Sounds to me like it's time to move up to a big-boy bank that has branches in The Big City and not just one small town.

Get yourself setup to receive payment by CC, then use that same account via debit card to buy a cheeseburger. Every fawkin restaurant except in third world countries (or, ok, maybe Mocksville where that 1-branch bank of yours is) takes credit.

Psssst - Mason Dixon line is above MD... so the answer is, never.

Buuutt... the more-important Sweet Tea Line seems to be somewhere around mid-Virginia.

And... you didn't catch that I referred to G-Boro as The big City??

What I'm saying is...sometimes The wifey dont need to know how much the check is for, so I need to cash it somewhere else. Like ''if'' I wanna buy her a surprise gift or something. She dont need to know that I cashed a check...or sqirreling jeep fund money.

Actually... NOW it sounds like you need a better seperation of business and personal $$. Get a business acount for these checks and Wifey dosn't have to know anything. Plus then that cheeseburger is a business expense :popcorn:
 
haha..sweet tea line.


a seperate account wont work for Dylan....his wife works at the bank!

Hence... get a business acct at a real bank.
I mean come on, WTF "bank" has a branch in Mocksville but not Greensboro? This isn't the 1800s. Well, at least for the rest of the state. :huggy:

Wait a minute - can't you depeosit checks at an ATM, as long as it's in the same network?

that reminds me of a time I was in Richmond, asked for sweat tea. The waitress informed me sugar was on the table, all the tea was unsweetened. I told her sorry, I thought we were in the south here. Well, this one guy overheard me and brashly lectured me how Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy, yada, yada, yada

/hijiack...I agree with Dave and crew, the bank the check is written from should honor it free of charge. In this day and age, everyone is adding fees wherever they can, if you don't question it, you pay it.

Dylan,
re: the fee, I agree it is very tsupid and the onl yreasons I can think of are (1) to discourage people from actually bothering their tellers w/ cashing checks 9since this costs them time=money), and/or (2) to encourage people (e.g., you) to just go ahead and have an account w/ them so you won't have the fee.
I agree that if the check is from THEIR bank, they should honor it. FYI NC SECU won't charge either.
But re: asking customers for the $$ I assume you are joking b/c most folks owuld just laugh at you. The problem is we (as the customer) know that you can indeed cash a check w/o costing you a dime - you just have to use you own bank. As you said yourself you're only using the other bank as a matter of convenience to YOU, I'm not gonna give you $5 more bc you're too lazy to visit your own bank.
I hate apple... but... get an IPhone, they have a cool app now you can "deposit" a check by taking a picture of it, no need to visit the bank.

But what if he is no where near his bank. If the check is wrote from your account then your bank should cash it with no fee that is a load of :poop:
 
Where I work they bank with BBT. They started charging us 5dollars to cash our checks because the company only used the account for payroll and put enough in it once a week just to cover payroll. They wasnt making any money off the account so the figured they would make it from the workers.
 
BANKS FAWKIN SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FAWK ALL BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bank at a credit union. I'll never deal with a bank again if I can help it. They're just as bad a insurance companies.
